Toys for Bob

Crash Team Rumble Switch

Did You Know Gaming published a new report about Toys for Bob today, and it claims that Crash Team Rumble was cancelled for Switch.

Crash Team Rumble originally released in June 2023. Unfortunately, the game failed to make an impact. Sales were low and there wasn’t much interested in watching the game at places such as Twitch. Did You Know Gaming says that a Switch version of Crash Team Rumble was in development at one point, but Activision cancelled the port “due to the lack of interest in the other versions.”

Crash Bandicoot 5 Spyro the Dragon cancelled

According to an in-depth report from Did You Know Gaming (full video here), Toys for Bob was once developing Crash Bandicoot 5 which would have been a crossover game with Spyro the Dragon. However, the project was ultimately cancelled.

The hook behind Crash Bandicoot 5, aside from Crash Twinsanity’s Academy of Evil making a comeback as the main setting, involved the return of Uka Uka, who previously appeared in Crash Bandicoot: Warped and was in Crash Bandicoot 4’s secret ending. Uka Uka would have gained access to an interdimensional portal in which he would travel to Spyro’s universe, use his magic on the Dragon Elders, and send that world into chaos while also threatening Crash’s home. Crash Bandicoot 5 was considered to be slightly darker compared to the previous title – in terms of both visuals and storytelling – with a stronger focus on the series’ lore.
